Museums On Us September 2010

If you’ve got a Bank of America checking account, ATM or credit card then you have a free pass (general admission only) to a selection of museums around the country on the first weekend of every month through the Museums on Us program. Please take a photo ID with you, some museums may request it before letting you enter.

Museums on Us will take place on Sep 4, 2010 and Sep 5, 2010. These are the participating museums in Massachusetts:

Readings stories and poems for children 6 and under that are designed to engage the next generation of explorers with themes related to the museum’s galleries. Storytime takes place every Sunday from 11am – 12pm and from 2pm – 3pm, and is included with your museum admission.

The Museum and Cafe are closed from Aug 30 – Sep 17 in preparation for the next exhibitions. However the Sculpture Park and the DeCordova shop are open. The weather forecast for the weekend is for sunshine and temps in the 70’s, a perfect weekend to wander through the DeCordova grounds contemplating sculpture.

In addition to the exhibits, there is a public tour of the museum on Saturday and Sunday at 1pm. The tours are free with admission and meet in the Museum lobby. This is the last opportunity this summer to visit the Danforth Museum as it closes on Monday August 9 for the remainder of the summer. The museum will not reopen until September 11, 2011.
